Rang my machinists and had a chat.

They recommended to me this blue heat-shield plastic that is used in molding processes. Very high compressive strength, and overall a very rigid plastic they assured me.

"High Temperature Insulator Sheets"
"Asbestos Free Glass Reinforced Polymer Composite"

Made by:

D-M-E Company
29111 Stevenson Hwy
Madison Heights
Michigan 48071

Thermal Conductivity: 1.9 BTU/hr/ft2/in-F @ 75F, and 2.1 @ 225F
550F maximum working temp.

Will convert to metric when I get a chance.
